      Feels like they really just need to prioritize managing their anger because they damn near came to destroying some of their clamps and the work piece. If you've never worked with hand clamps before they can be fiddly things and are only as useful as the user is creative, but getting so upset to start throwing the work piece over a glue up is startling behavior.

      I was really quite startled. I was 100% not expecting such visible emotion. Quite disturbing to me when I'm not expecting that kind of content incoming.
      "Clamping it got tricky" does nothing to inform that an emotional, loud outburst is incoming.... In a genre of video that is typically very methodical and chill to watch. I might expect that kind of outburst on a video called "Maker loses it while clamping wood for epic custom wormhole table".... But I'm also never in 1000 years going to click on a video like that because I do not enjoy rage content.
